• Scrap! 5 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  . The scrap vehicle has the tyres removed, and all fluids drained. Some of these are recycled (fuel, particularly, is put into drums, and sent for "cleaning" and re-use. The scrap man is paid for this fuel). After this, the whole vehicle goes straight through a shredder, which reduces it to small pieces. I

• Range Rover cutting out 27 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  'Tis very odd! Its a 1986 "Classic" manual with fuel injection, and usually I quite like it. However...... Its just had surgery to repair rust for its MOT, so you think it'd be grateful. No chance! Every 3 or 4 miles or so it cuts out. Dead. Without warning. In the most embarressing places
• CR Diesel Nightmares. 9 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  2.2Hdi. My thoughts went back to the good old days of a few 2 stroke motorcycles i've had in the past, & how those engines survived much abuse with just oil mixed in with the petrol at about 50:1 mix. So I thought I would mix in some cheap 20w 50 engine oil in with my diesel fuel at a ratio of about 100

• Biodiesel user, total loss of power 28 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  . The fuel filer was replaced after 500 miles of B100 and I've done another 2,200 miles since. Could it be that the new filter is clogged up with more gump and needs replacing ? The cars now on 120,000 miles. I can't think of anything else it could be and I thought i'd check if anyone has any ideas before i

• 306td...no ignition?? 29 May 2004 (Forum)
  fuel through as the glow plugs get damp if you crank the engine by hand. The glow plugs have been checked and are glowing as expected. There is no pressure coming back through the coolant and you can here it 'popping' through the exhaust as it is turned over. The fuel pump has not been disturbed so

  I\'ve a newish Omage 2.2 DTI that\'s had misfire below 2,000 rmp for the last 10,000 miles. The dealer has tried everything to cure it (new ECU, remove and flush fuel system etc) and I was on the point of getting rid of the car. At the last visit they said avoid BP fuel, which as it happens I
• Reporting pot holes 5 May 2004 (Forum)
  the money (fuel and road tax), the finished product is appaling (pot holes) and they run away. Shouldn't there be a law protecting us consumers where if we pay for the road, and the road is poorly/ not maintained we should get a refund on our road tax and fuel taxation. Isn't that why we pay road taxes

  Hi all! The last couple of months Greece has been the only country (as I've heard, at least) in which BP and Shell distribute their new fuels: "BP Ultimate" and "Shell V-power Racing 99+". BP Ultimate is 100 octane, and supposed to be environment friendly, plus cleans valves, valve seats, etc
• Failed VW TDI PD engine 23 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Hi, I am interested if anybody else has had a similar problem to me and what VW's attitude was. My 3 year 4 month old Golf TDI PD(115hp) engine died at 35,000 miles. The cause apparently was fuel leaking from the injector over night. On starting the engine, the con rod under the cylinder which full

• Follow on to car jacking thread 27 Nov 2001 (Forum)
